Pros

You get to work with animals every day. Learn different things about animal behavior

Cons

It’s a click, favoritism plays out here In all aspects, you have one of the higher ups that was the head of a cookie company. You send him your concerns and he brushes it off. They say they care about their employees but that’s far from the truth. Another employee was just promoted to a corporate promotion. They would have daily break downs, throw shampoo bottles, stress dogs out and basically not care. Very hard to watch and a main reason for leaving. The fact that they promoted someone like this to teach others is disgusting. Low pay, terrible benefits, acts like an MLM company trying to sell daycare packages to clientele. Benefits suck. The discount pet care is not that, you end up paying every paycheck on taxed amounts.

Pros

None worth saying at this point

Cons

Upper management doesn’t listen to feedback from in center management. All of upper management are long time friends so any complaints concerning their abusive behavior, like name calling, is dismissed. There is little to no genuine concern for center level team members and they are viewed as expendable people that can be easily replaced. Expensive pricing to clients when they are provided what can easily be called shelter level medicine depending on the doctor. They view clients as a simple numbers game. All of the doctors are not terrible but steer clear of the centers that have them and are protected by the status quo. Welcome to Banfield 2.0, my recommendation…do your research before going there.
